Essential Polymers R4388

Essential Polymers R4388 is a solvent-free urethane/acrylic hybrid, has been designed for excellent abrasion resistance. R4388 offers a good combination of film hardness, flexibility and toughness making it an ideal polymer candidate for topcoat applications. For improved resistance, Essential R4388 can be cross-linked with either a polyaziridine or a trimer. These 2-K systems exhibit excellent gloss and exceptional chemical and mar resistance.
